On Thursday, we had a meeting with all of Evan's early intervention specialists and new teachers in anticipation of him "aging out" into the Headstart program. In August, he will go to Carmichael Elementary 2.5 hours 4 days a week to get speech therapy. We weren't able to meet his teacher Dana since she had a family emergency, but we were able to meet one of the school psychologists and his new speech therapist. The timing turned out good that he turns 3 in July and the new school year starts at the beginning of August.
Funny to think that he will be riding a bus from daycare to Carmichael (of course there is an aide on the bus with him to make sure he gets to where he needs to go). There are other kids from his daycare who will be going to Carmichael also, so he won't be alone. It was a bummer that Village Meadows didn't offer the Headstart programs since that is right behind our house. We're not sure if he will attend the morning or afternoon session; but since he is a good early afternoon napper, chances are he will attend the morning session. The big drawback to that is that he will miss breakfast at school.

Knockers!
Every day Evan's communication skills improve; but we still find ourselves asking Evan to repeat himself. The other morning Evan came up to me and said he wanted what sounded like "knockers". I asked him to repeat it and he repeated as clear as day. Of course I had no idea what he was saying and I asked him to show me what he was wanting. He pulled me over to a bag of toys we had taken on the trip to the Albuquerque soccer tournament. As he was digging through this bag I had no idea what he was going to pull out that resembled the word "knockers" until he pulled out his plastic binoculars. Aaahhh...."knockers" are "binoculars"...anyone would know that, right?
